Policy Development

AWA Policy Principles

The Australian Water Association with support from the Water Management Law and Policy Specialist Network has developed policy principles. These principles are to guide the Association’s review of government policies (e.g. the development of a submission it may make on a government Green Paper) and the development of its own policies (e.g. Position Papers).
